Glycemic dispersion: a new index for screening high glycemic variability
Objective For patients with diabetes, high-frequency and -amplitude glycemic variability may be more harmful than continuous hyperglycemia; however, there is still a lack of screening indicators that can quickly and easily assess the level of glycemic ...

Subjective Assessment of Diabetes Self-Care Correlates with Perceived Glycemic Control but not with Actual Glycemic Control [PDF]
BackgroundWe investigated whether patients' perceived glycemic control and self-reported diabetes self-care correlated with their actual glycemic control.MethodsA survey was administered among patients with diabetes mellitus at an outpatient clinic with ...

Glycemic index, glycemic load and cancer risk
Dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) have been related to the risk of selected cancers, but the issue remains open.Mailed questionnaires were completed between 1994 and 1997 in eight Canadian provinces for incident, histologically confirmed cases of the stomach (n=1182), colon (n=1727), rectum (n=1447), liver (n=309), pancreas (n=628 ...

The glycemic index issue [PDF]
In recent years, many of the concerns surrounding the glycemic index have been addressed by methodological studies and clinical trials comparing diets carefully matched for other nutrients. These findings are reviewed together with new observational evidence for the role of the dietary glycemic index in the etiology of cardiovascular disease.The ...
